On 23–24 April 2026 in Balikpapan, Indonesia, Earthqualizer took part in the KLK Sustainability Convention 2026, with the theme “Navigating Market Changes and Sustainability Expectations in the Palm Oil Supply Chain.” The event brought together KLK, government representatives, industry players, and technical experts to discuss how suppliers can respond to evolving market demands and sustainability expectations across the palm oil sector.

The convention featured speakers from KLK, GIMNI, GAR, the Provincial Department of Agriculture, and Earthqualizer. Earthqualizer, represented by Sakti Anggara, delivered a session on the importance of sourcing data collection at the palm oil mill level to support market expectation readiness.

Responding to Growing Sustainability Expectations

The convention was designed as a platform for dialogue, knowledge sharing, and supplier alignment as sustainability-related requirements become more demanding. It aimed to strengthen suppliers’ understanding of market expectations, encourage closer collaboration across the supply chain, and support the implementation of responsible sourcing practices, including NDPE commitments.

This made the event particularly relevant for suppliers navigating a landscape where buyer expectations, market access conditions, and regulatory requirements are all becoming more closely linked to sustainability performance.
